First the metamorphic schist would have to become exposed through means of uplift and erosion. Subjected to weathering, rock particles will become transported by wind and water, becoming smaller and smaller until they fit the definition of sand grain size. Rivers and streams will eventually transport the tiny particles to the continental shelf where they will sink to the bottom and be covered by additional layers of sand. Because of the weight of overlying layers, the sandgrains will undergo a process known as lithification, where excess water is squeezed out and a cementing mineral solution will bind the sand grains together. At this point it can be called sandstone.

What process must sedimentary rocks undergo to become metamorphic?
Sedimentary rocks must be subjected to high temperature and pressure within the Earth's crust to become metamorphic rocks. This process, known as metamorphism, causes changes in the mineral composition and texture of the sedimentary rock, resulting in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Does an igneous rock have to go through the sedimentary process in order to become metamorphic?
No, it doesn't.
What processes must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
When sedimentary rock melts what does it become?
It turns into a metamorphic rock.
How can a sedimentary rock become a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock

What are three process that a metamorphic rock must experience before it can become a sedimentary rock?
ErosionDepositionBurial and Cementing
What can a metamorphic rock become?
A pre-existing, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock.
What processes must a sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock?
what processes must sedimentary rock go through to become a metamorphic rock
How the metamorphic rock can become sediment rock?
The Metamorphic Rock must undergo a process called Weathering and Erosion. Once it has become sediments it goes under another process called Cementing and Compacting. Now it has become a sedimentary rock. Trust Point me if this helped! Thanks!
What sedimentary rock may become quartzite?
A sedimentary rock that may become quartzite is sandstone. Through the process of metamorphism, the sandstone can be transformed into quartzite, which is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz crystals.
Can a metamorphic rock break in half then one half turns into a igneous rock and the other into a sedimentary rock?
The only way a metamorphic rock can become a sedimentary rock is if it is eroded and the pieces settle in a body of water and eventually become sedimentary rock. A whole piece of metamorphic rock is never going to become , by itself, a piece of sedimentary rock.
What other kind of rock can sedimentary rock become?
Metamorphic
What sedimentary rock will become the metamorphic rock quartzite?
sandstone
When sedimentary rock melts what does it become?
It turns into a metamorphic rock.
